It's just using a modified GPL License which isn't clearly labelled as
such.
According to this URL
http://cvs.linuxsampler.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/linuxsampler/src/Sampler.cp…
I have permission to use that particular file under the GPL, or (at my
option) any later version. Looking through a few other files and I see
I have the same permissions for those. Seems to be open source *and*
free software *and* released under the GPL *and* free-as-in-beer.
*shrug*
Definitely, at the end of the day there is no way in hell their
"exception" would hold up in court, since they basically just mention it
in passing on the web page.
Nope, it is (or at least was the last time I checked) mentioned in the,
I think, README file in the tarballs, up to and including 0.3.3.
